I was born in New York City, in the borough of Brooklyn. I lived there a few years but then grew up primarily in Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley.
Moved back to NYC and lived in Manhattan for 38 years. Now living in Columbus, NC for the past 12 years.
I have two grown children and three grandchildren.
I have felt I was pretty healthy most of my life but as I look back I see there have been deficits that I didn't really address. I have always been interested in nutrition and practices such as the Feldenkrais body work. Dr Kruse's work is now to me a particular interest as it combines several of my particular passions-light and health and geography. My education was liberal arts and I graduated from college with a BA in Music, minor was Theater Arts and Philosophy. I worked professionally as a performer and musician until my switch to photography. That happened in 1984.
